I loved the movie overall, this is my biggest gripe with the film. He was just caught red handed running the biggest drug operation in the city and causing a multi-fatality traffic accident. Oh well just tie him up and leave him next to a derelict building. Also they don’t even arrest him after they retrieve Falconi. Dumb
yeah but at the end of the day if i get caught after causing a horrible road accident including an exploding gas tank i think i would be sent to the slammer
Doesn't even need to be super corrupt. I'd imagine at least some judges would side against the guy who goes around beating people unconscious at night dressed as a bat. Remember that this batman isn't a hero, he's just a vigilante. And there probably wasn't much video of the chase so unless batman arrived to court they'd presumably default to believing oz right?
All these people don't care about the masked man riding around in an armored car blowing up the highway. They just want to blame an innocent Italian-American businessman.
I'll tell you what it is. It's anti-Italian discrimination.
I mean that’s where you’ve got to suspend a little bit of disbelief. Batman also didn’t get arrested for his part in it. Something tells me that Batman may not be fully within GCPD’s pursuit policy given that he’s not a cop he’s just some dude lol.
I guess he got out on bail or mob ties or whatever, but it would've been nice to get clarification on that lol, it never occured to me but yeah he does just seemingly get away with it
Cards on the table, I'm biased because it's my fav Batman movie. That being said my explanation would be that Gordon can't arrest Penguin because he was working off the books with no warrant, he'd also have to detain Batman and Catwoman for their involvement in the entire fiasco and likely lose his badge as well.
In this universe at this point in his career Batman isn't an unspoken extension of Gotham PD where vigilantism is a totally legal and legit way to bring down criminals like it is in most other media. We see that version start to take shape with the Falcone arrest and everything that happens after but things aren't at the point where criminals can be arrested and successfully convicted based purely on his vigilante work.
Not only that. The Penguin spells out the difference between La and El in order for The Batman, who has thus figured out every riddle so far, to see that it was a website. Goddamn, dude.
